Introduction, 

o 

The study of contracted outlines should not be commenced until the 
student has advanced far enough to write from 60 to 80 words a minute, and 
has a good general knowledge of how words in common use should be written. 

The principle of contracting is to drop one or more consonants from a 
word, generally at the end. but there are exceptions, as in the word '''experi- 
ence", which is written V* 

The syllables. Ted and Ded, may be omiited in most cases without im- 
pairing the legibility of the outline : as, Augmented (— ^-— ^ ), &c. 

Tive may also be omitted at the end of an outline : as. Active ( -=* ), 
using the final F or V hook in place of it. 

Ful or Fully may be expresse 1 at the en 1 of an outline by the stroke F, 
as in Peaceful ( j ) or Gracefully ( *— f _ ). 

Able may be omitted at ih? end of an outline, as in Admirable ( U / )< 

Ment may safely be omitted in almost every case where there are three 
or more consonants in the word ■ as, Management ( - ; ). 

In a great many cases two tenses may be expressed by one outline, as 
well as the substantive ; e.g. Determine, Determined, Determination 

The student should learn thoroughly the outlines contained in this little 
book, so as to recognize them as readily as the grammalogues, and to be able 
to write them without hesitation. 

W e know that after taking our two courses in Phonography and giving 
them careful study, the student will be in a position, after mastering this list 



of Contractions, to enter any commercial house to do correspondence - so 
far as the shorthand is concerned. 

By careful and diligent study for nine months a student ought to write 
150 words a minute.
